      <p>
         Sets the path of a directory to be used as the location to create the access
         method database files.  When the
         <a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB-&gt;open()">DB-&gt;open()</a>  function is used to
	     create a file it will be created relative to this path.  
    </p>
      <p>
         If no database directories are specified, database files will be created
         either by absolute paths or relative to the environment home
         directory.  See 
         <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_naming.html" class="olink">Berkeley DB File Naming</a> 
         for more information.
    </p>
      <p>
         The database environment's create directory may also be configured
         using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The
         syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string
         "set_create_dir", one or more whitespace characters, and the directory
         name.
    </p>
      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;set_create_dir()</code> method configures operations performed
         using the specified <a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5.  The DB_ENV Handle">DB_ENV</a>  
         handle, not all operations performed on the underlying database environment.
